By DEREK GILLIAM dgilliam@lakecityreporter.com Lifeguard Ambulance Service soon will have to pay market value rent on buildings it now leases from the county for $1 per year. The county commission on Tuesday night approved a short-term lease extension with Lifeguard until county staff can calculate the fair market value on the properties Lifeguard rents. The vote was 5-0. Lifeguard Ambulance regional executive Jason Kimbrell sent a letter Tuesday to County Manager Dale Williams requesting the cur rent lease agreement be rejected. The company had requested in a June 17 letter that the current contract be extended. Asked the reason for the sud den change, Kimbrell said, We want to be good public citizens. The agreement approved by the commission two years ago allowed Lifeguard use of three county buildings for $1 a year, and the company was allowed to lease six county-owned ambu lances for $1 a year, in exchange for a performance contract that ultimately eliminat(ed) the finan cial risk (to the county) of what was estimated to be $1.2 million annually, Kimbrell said in the letters. During the public com ment period, John Glover, CEO of Century Ambulance Service, requested the com mission to reject the Lifeguard contract extension. He said in 2012, Lifeguard had revenue of $8 million from its Columbia County operations. My reasons are simple: Lifeguard is making money in fact, good money it appears, Glover said. They should be expected to pay rent just like any LEASE continued on 3A Ambulance service to pay rent Commission OKs contract extension, with new provision.

SANTA FE, N.M. I t may be difficult to separate Johnny Depp from his Pirates character Jack Sparrow, but the actor recalls a time before the boozy buccaneer became a household name. The films that I did prior to Pirates, ... not everything but a lot of it, was sort of by industry stan-dards, not blockbuster stuff. So I wasnt ever blockbuster material, said Depp in a recent interview. But thats not to say he didnt have fun during those years. Ive been lucky enough to be involved in some very small and dif-ferent independent films throughout my career and Ive been able to be involved in, you know, a couple of films that shocked everybody, espe-cially me, he said. Since 2003, Depp has played the flamboyant captain in four hugely successful Pirates of the Caribbean films, with a fifth installment slated for 2015. At age 50, he is still one the hottest names in Hollywood and about ready to launch another big-budget summer flick, The Lone Ranger. The only thing I can equate it with is luck. Theres no other rea-son, he said of his career longevity. The fact that I was able to survive through that 15 years of just bounc-ing around doing (indie) movies and now still to end up here is amazing.Medical official: Rapper died of drug overdose ATLANTA  Chris Kelly of the 1990s rap duo Kris Kross died of a drug overdose, a medical office investigator said Monday. A toxicology screening revealed that Kelly, 34, had a mixture of drugs in his system when he was pro-nounced dead on May 1, said Betty Honey of the Fulton County Medical Examiners office in Atlanta. Paramedics found Kelly unresponsive on a living room couch at his Atlanta home and tried to resuscitate him. Kelly, known as Mac Daddy, was later pronounced dead at a local hospital. Honey said she did not know which specific drugs Kelly had used before his death. However, a police report from the night of Kellys death said his mother told investiga-tors her son used cocaine and heroin the night before he died and had a history of drug abuse. Kris Kross was introduced to the music world in 1992. Kelly per-formed alongside Chris Smith, who was known as Daddy Mac. The duo wore their clothes backward as a gimmick, but they won over fans with their raps. Brosnans daughter dies of ovarian cancer NEW YORK  Pierce Brosnans daughter has died from ovarian can-cer, his publicist confirms. Charlotte Smith was 41 years old when she passed away in London on June 28, after battling the disease for three years. Brosnans first wife Cassandra Harris, Charlottes mother, also died from ovarian cancer in 1991. Harris mother died from the disease, too. People.com was first to report the story. In a statement to People, Brosnan said his daughter fought her cancer with grace and humanity, courage and dignity. He went on to say we pray for her and that the cure for this wretched disease will be close at hand soon. CORRECTION The Lake City Reporter corrects errors of fact in news items.

AROUND FLORIDA Zimmermans injuries described SANFORD  A medical examiner from Jacksonville has testi-fied for prosecutors that George Zimmermans inju-ries were insignificant. Medical examiner Valerie Rao took the wit-ness stand Tuesday after prosecutors played a video recording of an interview Zimmerman gave to con-servative talk show host Sean Hannity last year. Rao didnt perform the autopsy on Martin and is only being called as a prosecu-tion witness. Zimmerman is charged with second-degree mur-der for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin. He is claiming self-defense. Prosecutors are trying to show Zimmermans life wasnt in danger when he shot Martin. Rao says the injuries to Zimmermans head dont reflect that his head was being slammed with great force into a sidewalk as he claims.200 cats seized from couple MILTON  Deputies and animal control work-ers removed some 200 cats from a home in Milton on Monday. Allan and Ella Kirkman of Milton face several charges, including nui-sance injurious to health and selling or letting dis-eased animals roam. The Pensacola News Journal reports the Kirkmans have operated a nonprofit, no-kill animal shelter called Kirkman Kattery Rescue out of their home for years. Their com-pany website says theyve been trying to raise funds to build a facility for the cats. The cats were taken to a local animal shelter. For the time being we have the space to house and care for them, said animal control interim director Dale Hamilton. He said the cats will be examined before their fate is determined.Deputys killer believed dead POMPANO BEACH  Nearly six years after a South Florida deputy was gunned down in a drugstore parking lot, authorities say they have compelling evidence about a possible suspect. The Broward Sheriffs Office reports that Shawn Labeet may have been involved in the murder of Sgt. Christopher Reyka. Authorities said Tuesday they could not discuss most of the evidence, but did say Labeet was involved in drug rip-offs while he posed as an officer. Authorities also said two witnesses placed Labeet in the area of the drugstore the night Reyka was murdered. Labeet was killed in a shootout with police in 2007 after authorities said he shot four Miami-Dade police officers. Officer Jose Somohano was killed. Police eventually tracked Labeet to an apart-ment complex, where he was fatally shot by the Miami-Dade SWAT team.Man crashes into cruiser BRADENTON  A man is in jail after authorities say he crashed head-on into a parked Manatee County Sheriffs cruiser with a deputy inside. The deputy had responded to a call Monday night when 43-year-old Israel Lara-Contreras crossed the center line and hit the deputys car. The Bradenton Herald reports the deputy wasnt injured, but the car sus-tained about $3,000 in damages. Lara-Contreras is charged with driving while intoxicated. He remained in the Manatee County Jail.

planning on going ahead with the event. We may have to shut down some of the bounce houses, ven dors and entertainment for the safety of spectators, but as far as the fireworks go, were going to do our best to shoot them off that eve ning. Decker said the contract with the fireworks vendor has a rain-delay date if the show cant go forward Thursday. The rain date is Friday. At that point and time, we would have to re-evalu ate..., she said. On July 5, it would more than likely be just the fireworks show. The fireworks display is expected to last 22 min utes. Just Maybe, a Gainesvillearea band, will perform at the event in two sets. The group will perform a 45minute set at 5:50 p.m. and a second set at 8:25 p.m. Just Maybe plays a wide selection of songs from all styles for all tastes, includ ing a rich variety of soulful R&B selections, along with some blues, contemporary rock, rock and pop clas sics and even a few country selections. We have an actionpacked lineup full of qual ity entertainment, and well also have some activities to get the audience engaged, Decker said. Were going to play Simon Says with the adults as well as the children. This years event will fea ture a childrens area that will be double the size of last years. The area will have four water slides, six bounce houses, a slip and slide and a misting tent for adults. Event organizers are offering VIP parking for $5. Traffic tie-ups are expected during and after the event, and a portion of Bascom Norris near Mary Ethel Lane will be closed from 4 p.m. through the duration of the event. At 9 p.m., Windsong Loop to the intersection of Real Road will be closed, as well as the intersection of Commerce Drive and Real Road.

Theft from thrift store alleged BLOOD: Plea made for donations Continued From Page 1A summer, so we are strug gling right now to meet the hospital demands. Mimbs said blood supply normally drops during the summer because schools arent in session and peo ple are on vacation, which reduces attendance at blood donor events. He said the need for blood is sometimes escalated during the sum mer because people often schedule medical proce dures then. Our blood usage goes up, but our blood donations go down, he said. To address the shortage, LifeSouth has initiated new programs to entice poten tial donors. They are giving away a flat-screen televi sion, T-shirts and an eightday vacation to Hawaii as part of a promotion. Were just trying to get a little bit more commu nity awareness about sum mertime needs, Mimbs said. Were just getting out there waving on the side of the road everyday trying to get people to come on. Thus far the campaign has generated a small response. Mimbs said three flat-screen TVs will be given away at the end of the summer. He said the mobile blood collection vehicles are out in the com munity seven days a week. Mimbs said the O blood type is most in demand. O blood types are the universal donors, and thats the one we always kind of struggle with, he said. Its also the most common blood type. Its just a matter of get ting people in the door, but just about every blood type we can always use. Scott Carroll, of Lake City, was at the center preparing to give blood Tuesday. He said he has been donating blood for about 10 years. I feel its important to donate blood because you are giving back, he said. You are giving back life to someone who needs it. Carroll said he hopes donating his blood during the shortage will help save someones life. Its just that they (LifeSouth) are in critical need of blood right now, he said. I feel that with myself coming in donating now, hopefully, that will help other people get out to donate as well. Mimbs said LifeSouth tries to get 38 blood donors per day. Some days, we hit it and some days we dont even come close, he said. Its the days that we dont come close that we really struggle because we have to make it up another day. Blood donors have to be at least 16 years old (and have written parental consent), in good health and not be receiving any kind of medical treatment. Diabetics can also donate. Blood donated to LifeSouth in Columbia County is used in Lake City and at Shands North Florida Regional Medical Center. Thats mainly because most people go down there for some medical treat ment and some stay here, Mimbs said. To give blood, go to the LifeSouth Community Blood Center at 833 SW State Road 47. By DEREK GILLIAM dgilliam@lakecityreporter.com A Lake City man tricked employees of a local thrift shop into allowing him to walk out of the store with a home theater sys tem he didnt buy, accord ing to a Lake City Police Department arrest report. Edward Lee Lyttle, 46, 332 SW Magical Terrace, faces a charge of grand theft. Lyttle bought items at Hospice of Nature Coast Thrift Shoppe, 945 SW Main Blvd., around noon Monday. Lyttle asked store manager Sherry Peters if he could leave the items behind the counter while he shopped at other stores, the report said. Lyttle returned later and told store clerk that he had bought the theater system along with his other items, the report said. He loaded it in a taxicab and left, the report said. Lyttle was booked into the Columbia County Detention Facility in lieu of $5,000. WATER: SRWMD head quizzed Continued From Page 1A River Water Management District, since both dis tricts have authority over the water in North Florida. Theyre using a lot of water that flows into Columbia County, Williams said. Shortelle said if the state Department of Environmental Protection accepts the minimum flows and levels the SRWMD has proposed, then, yes, both districts would have to accept the restrictions imposed by recovery and prevention plans from either district. So, the most important thing in the short run for us is hearing back from DEP in the affirmative that they will take that body of science and do the adop tion, she said. ... If DEP does the adoption, we will be A-OK. Shortelle said there is no question that ground water is affected across water management district boundaries. Even though these riv ers and these springs are in the Suwannee District, they have cross-bound ary effects, Shortelle said. Our science clearly demonstrates that, and St. Johns, frankly, has worked with us and sees the same thing we see. Williams said its impor tant that any restrictions placed on the county because minimum flows drop below acceptable levels, be also placed on counties in the St. Johns management district, since those counties affect area water bodies. All we are asking for is for the playing field to be level, Williams said. Dont put restrictions Columbia County that you dont put on the St. Johns Water Management District. DePratter asked spe cifically about the plans to bring the lower Santa Fe River above its minimum flows and levels. Shortelle said water management is working on the recovery plan for the Santa Fe River to bring the MFLs back to normal. We are actively work ing on them, Shortelle said. LEASE: Fair rent to be charged Continued From Page 1A third party. Glover said the subsidy Lifeguard receives from the county creates an unfair advantage. Century Ambulance operates in Columbia County, also. Make no mistake, we welcome competition, and the county benefits by such, Glover said. Before the commis sion voted on the matter, Commissioner Bucky Nash asked questions about the value of the six ambulanc es the county leases. He also wants to see county staff to annually inspect the ambulances. In a related matter about extending the contract of county medical director Dr. Kim Landry, Nash said he was concerned with how the county negotiates contracts and the com munication among county emergency services. There is so many mov ing parts to what you are doing, its not (work ing), he said. The only reason we are here today is because (County Fire Chief) David Boozer said, Oh, we dont have a con tract, and thats a fact, Nash said. Nash also said he had to hunt down the renewal contract for the medical director before the meet ing, and that he doesnt want that to happen again. The next time this comes up, Im going to come unglued, Nash said. ... Every time a contract comes up, its a opportu nity to renegotiate that con tract and get what you want for the citizens of Columbia County, and that is not hap pening. The commissioners voted 4-1, with Nash vot ing against the motion, to renew Landrys contract for $45,000 a year.

R are is the high school senior who is ready at 18 years old to live on his or her own with no financial or emotional support. That is the abrupt deadline for exiting Florida foster care. But starting next year, a new state law that Gov. Rick Scott signed last month will bring some commonsense flexibility that will allow foster children to have a more normal transition to independence. Thats good for the children and for society, which has an interest in them becoming productive adults. Under SB 1036, 18-year-olds who stay in school, start college or begin a job can stay with foster families or transition to some other kind of assistance through age 21. Just as significantly, the state wont shut the door on those who opt to move on. They can return to foster care at any time up until 21 if they find they still need some help. In April, Scott also signed into law HB 215, which gives greater discretion to foster par-ents to decide which extracurricular or social activities a child can participate in, rather than requiring approval from a caseworker. That will normalize foster care a bit as children no longer will have to wait for government approval before they attend a sleepover or play a sport. Sen. Nancy Detert, R-Venice, has called these efforts the most important shes ever sponsored. Foster children, including the 1,000-plus who turn 18 each year, will undoubtedly agree.T he GOP has all kinds of high-priced political con-sultants, but the average Republican is justified in asking what the party is getting for its money. This past week, the partys professional pols began rolling out an attack on Hillary Rodham Clinton, the presumptive Democratic front-runner for president in 2016, revolving around the theme that at age 69 she would be too old for the job. Sometimes, this tactic works. Age worked against both Bob Dole and John McCain, but, despite Democrats best efforts, Ronald Reagans age appeared to be a non-starter. In a 1984 presidential debate with Democratic candidate Walter Mondale, Reagan, then 73, famously quipped that he would not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponents youth and inexperience. Republican consultant Karl Rove, who was spectacularly wrong about the outcome of the 2012 election and, at 62, hardly an advertisement for the partys youth movement, told The New York Times that it was time for Clintons generation to get off the stage. The idea that were at the end of her generation and that its time for another to step forward is certainly compelling, Rove said. Three of the partys rising stars are of a dif-ferent generation: Marco Rubio is 42, Paul Ryan is 43 and Rand Paul is 50. Unfortunately, Rove probably represents the high road. Taking the low road, Rush Limbaugh managed to combine both sexism and ageism, asking if Americans were ready to watch a woman get older before their eyes on a daily basis. That prompted Newsweek/Daily Beast columnist Michael Tomasky to observe: If he has the reach were told he has, he creates 10 new Clinton voters every time he opens his fat mouth. The question, for someone watching from the sidelines, is why the Republicans would pick this fight at all. Republicans did better than Democrats with voters 65 and older in the last presidential election: 56 percent voted for Republican Mitt Romney. But among women voters as a whole, 56 percent supported President Barack Obama. Even given some Republicans teeth-grinding detestation of Hillary Clinton, the stakes are a lot higher for Republicans than merely venting their political pique. The census says there are 17 mil-lion men age 65 and older, most of them reliably Republican voters. But there are 22 million women in that age group, an edge of 56.4 to 43.6 percent. It hardly seems worth gratuitously alienating a bloc that large -and one thats growing rapidly. E xplain to me, please, why I should be enthusiastic about the Republicans coming up with a way to spend $46.3 billion on border security that will gain us very little while helping the Senate pass an inane immigration bill they mainly favor for political reasons. Supporting this fraud will supposedly help them win Hispanic votes, but it almost surely wont. Despite some people strangely calling immi-grants conservatives, most have not been and their mostly liberal vot-ing patterns arent likely to flip-flop because of blatant GOP opportun-ism. If enacted in its current 1,200page, loophole-ridden indefinite-ness, the Senate bill would likely flatten the party while walloping the country. You might say the party deserved it if it were not for some House Republicans harboring workable ideas that could come to fruition. Yes, we need to find a way gradually to legalize and ultimately make citizens out of the most deserving of the 11 million or so illegal immi-grants here now. I grant the move rewards law-breaking. Then there is the Heritage Foundations estimate that, over the next half-century, gov-ernmental expenditures would be trillions more than if they were not legalized. While a precise figure is debatable, the cost would assuredly be huge. But the problem needs to be resolved, some systems of deporta-tion would be ugly beyond us car-rying them out, and I am not sure officialdom will ever get behind anything effective. I do think that, before anyone is legalized, we need a definitively proven system of identifying illegal immigrants in the workplace to make sure the illegal inflow from here on out is tiny. And to offset costs, we also need to go to work skills and education as the chief criteria for being allowed in. So what did the Senate cough up? For one thing, we got this GOPinspired plan to hire another 20,000 border agents, invest in fancy new technology and build a 700-mile fence that still leaves plenty of crossing space on the 1,954-mile U.S.-Mexican dividing line. Put it all together and you have tens of billions dedicated to further aggra-vating a monster debt -and an esti-mate by the Congressional Budget Office that this and other efforts will reduce the expected illegal inflow by no more than 25 percent as workers with temporary work visas stay past their expiration. Thats hardly the worst of it. The rest of the Senate bill has an immi-gration inundation scheme that is going to drown our society with an estimated 38 million new Americans over the next 20 years. Its a num-ber we cannot begin to accommo-date, even though it does not count the illegal immigrants granted amnesty or the 8 million new illegal immigrants thought likely to arrive over that stretch of time. The Congressional Budget Office said the gross domestic product will go up. Of course it will. That many more people means a lot more workers producing a lot more services and products, but, as some experts note, many of those jobs are going to pay so little that the workers will receive more in government services than they will pay in taxes. And what the cheer-leaders dont tell us about the CBO calculation is that it says per-person income will be lower in this country over the next 18 years than it would be under the law as it now stands. If we would mainly admit highly skilled workers instead of bumping that percentage up just a bit, and if we would further de-emphasize family unification that leads to more unskilled workers, we would suf-fer far fewer of the negatives out-lined by such experts as Heather McDonald, a Manhattan Institute fellow. She points out how strug-gling newcomers too often raise high school dropouts in one-parent homes and boost our poverty and welfare rates. We can hope House Republicans will follow those who want to avoid a do-it-all-at-once measure as they figure out ways to achieve reform one small, smart step at a time.

By MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer ATLANTA Overdose deaths in the U.S. are rising fastest among middle-aged women, and their drug of choice is usually prescrip tion painkillers, the govern ment reported Tuesday. Mothers, wives, sisters and daughters are dying at rates that we have never seen before, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which compiled the data. The problem is one of the few health issues the CDC is working on that are clearly getting worse, he added. For many decades, the overwhelming majority of U.S. overdose deaths were men killed by heroin or cocaine. But by 2010, 40 percent were women most of them middle-aged women who took prescrip tion painkillers. Skyrocketing female overdose death rates are closely tied to a boom in the overall use of prescribed painkillers. The new report is the CDCs first to spot light how the death trend has been more dramatic among women. The CDC found that the number and rate of pre scription painkiller over dose deaths among females increased about fivefold 1999 to 2010. Among men, such deaths rose about 3 times. Overall, more men still die from overdoses of pain killers and other drugs; there were about 23,000 such deaths in 2010, com pared with about 15,300 for women. Men tend to take more risks with drugs than women, and often are more prone to the kind of workplace injuries that lead to their being prescribed painkillers in the first place, experts say. But the gap has been narrowing dramatically. Studies suggest that women are more likely to have chronic pain, to be prescribed higher doses, and to use pain drugs longer than men. Some research suggests women may be more likely than men to doctor shop and get pain pills from several physicians, CDC officials said. But many doctors may not recognize these facts about women, said John Eadie, director of a Brandeis University program that tracks prescription-drug monitoring efforts across the United States. The report highlights the need for a mindset change by doctors, who have traditionally thought of drug abuse as a mens problem, he said. That means doctors should consider the possibility of addiction in female patients, think of alternative treat ments for chronic pain, and consult state drug monitor ing programs to find out if a patient has a worrisome history with painkillers. The CDC report focuses on prescription opioids like Vicodin and OxyContin and their generic forms, methadone, and a powerful newer drug called Opana, or oxymorphone. These are danger ous medications and they should be reserved for situations like severe can cer pain, Frieden said. He added that there has not been a comparable increase in documented pain condi tions in the U.S. public that would explain the boom in painkiller prescriptions in the last 10 or 15 years. Some experts said the increase in prescriptions can be traced to pharma ceutical marketing cam paigns. CDC researchers reviewed death certifi cates, which are some times incomplete. Specific drugs were not identified in every death. In others, a combination of drugs was involved, such as painkill ers taken with tranquil izers. CDC officials think more than 70 percent of the overdose deaths were unintentional. One striking finding: The greatest increases in drug overdose deaths were in women ages 45 through 54, and 55 through 64. The rate for each of those groups more than tripled between 1999 and 2010. In 2010, overdose deaths in those two groups of middle-aged women added up to about 7,400 or nearly half the female total, according to CDC statistics. Its an age group in which more women are dealing with chronic pain and seeking help for it, some experts suggested. Many of these women probably were introduced to painkillers through a doctors prescriptions for real pain, such as persis tent aches in the lower back or other parts of the body. Then some no doubt became addicted, said Dr. Andrew Kolodny, a psy chiatrist who specializes in addiction at Maimonides Medical Center in New York City. There arent two dis tinct populations of people being helped by opioid painkillers and addicts being harmed. Theres overlap, said Kolodny, president of a 700-member organization Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing. 6A LAKE CITY REPORTER HEALTH WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 2013 Page Editor: Jim Barr, 754-0424 6A S O U T H E R N INTERNAL MEDICINE S O U T H E R N INTERNAL MEDICINE Specializing in adult medical care including: Dr. Guy S.

Dear Pharmacist, I use hydrocortisone cream for my bug bites. It works, but is there some thing else to manage this or the pain and itch? Me and my kids get bit fre quently and I dont like the idea of taking a bath in chemical creams. K.K., Tulsa, Okla. Answer: I have other bath ideas to share with you. What you do for a bug bite depends on the type of critter. For example, bites from bees, wasps, yellow jackets and fire ants are the most common. Unless youre highly allergic, these bites can be treated at home. Bites from scor pions and certain spiders often require medical attention. Bites from ticks (if youre lucky enough to see it, because you wont feel it) should be treated with prescribed antibiotics for at least four weeks. Let me keep it simple today. Pharmacists like hydrocortisone cream because it works quickly, controls the itch, pain, swelling and redness. Benadryl (diphenhydr amine) cream may help in this regard, too. Lidocaine, or numbing sprays provide yet another option to mini mize pain. Here are other potential solutions: Ice pack The cold takes down swelling and pain. Baking soda Right after you get bit, make a paste using baking soda and water, add in meat tenderizer if you have it. Wash the paste and reap ply every 15 minutes for about an hour. It helps with pain, itch and red ness. The meat tenderizer neutralizes venom injected into you by the bug. Ibuprofen or acet aminophen Over-thecounter medications that temporarily control pain. Oral antihistamines Benadryl (diphenhydr amine) is often used to control full-body itching. Dont say I didnt warn you (yawn) this stuff can knock you out. No driving! Toothpaste Fluoride in toothpaste seems to calm the sting. Essential oils Lavender oil is sooth ing and acts as a natural anti-inflammatory and antivenom aid. Peppermint oil and lavender both reduce risk of infection. Tea tree oil may disinfect the area. These oils may sting if you apply undiluted. For some, a 50/50 mix with a carrier oil, like olive or coconut, might be better. You can put essential oils in your bath. Speaking of baths... Peroxide and epsom salts Dump a whole 4pound bag of epsom salts in warm (not hot) water, along with a pint (or two) of hydrogen peroxide. This home remedy has anecdotal evidence; its a very strong detoxifying bath and might cause an unpleasant Herxheimer reaction the first few times, so get your doctors blessings. Its not right for everyone. Aveeno oatmeal This is 100 percent col loidal oatmeal that helps to control itching; you pour the flakes under the faucet of your bath and soak in it. Think thats weird? Its not compared to what I say next. Preparation H Hemorrhoidal Cream It contains pramoxine which controls pain. Chiggerex Chiggers are immature mites and not easily seen. Their itch is diabolic, com pared to their microscopic size! Chiggerex is sold at pharmacies and brings quick relief. Alternative bug bite remedies Suzy Cohen info@dearpharmacist.com DEAR PHARMACIST Cohen is a pharmacist in Gainesville. Dozens charged in Alzheimers home abuse Associated Press COMMERCE, Ga. Almost two dozen former employees of a Georgia facility for people with Alzheimers dis ease are facing more than 70 charges alleging cruel treatment, such as staff members striking patients and throw ing water on them. The charges stem from a threemonth investigation of Alzheimers Care of Commerce, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said. Agents used a search warrant on Tuesday morning to search for evi dence at the center, about 65 miles northeast of Atlanta. Warrants for the arrests of 21 for mer and present employees were issued. Charges include cruelty to people 65 or older and involve accusa tions of abuse, neglect and financial exploitation. Information obtained through the investigation indicated that patients were restrained with bed sheets and subjected to inhumane and undigni fied conditions to include double dia pering, which is a practice whereby multiple diapers were placed on the patients at once to keep the staff from changing soiled diapers as often, the GBI said in a statement.

Local teams ousted from small league tournament Tuesday By BRANDON FINLEYbfinley@lakecityreporter.comFORT WHITE  Conditions havent been ideal and the participants in todays final round of the Babe Ruth Baseball Small League Invitational wont have the ideal competitors, either. All local teams have been eliminated from the Babe Ruth Baseball Small League Invitational in Fort White. Play was expected to enter the championship rounds and conclude on Tuesday, but weather delays have plagued the tourna-ment since the beginning on Saturday. Games were delayed each day, and Mondays slate of games were almost completely wiped out due to weather. The plan, weather permitting, is to start the championship rounds at 9 a.m. today, with four teams remaining in each bracket. At the conclusion of the semifinals, the champion-ship games will begin with no set time announced. Lake Citys 15U team finished just outside of the semifinals with a 3-1 record during the tourna-ment, while Fort Whites 15U team finished at 2-2 for the week. Fort White also just missed the 10U semifinals with a 3-1 record for the tournament. The weather has hit us pretty hard, but with the great help of the volunteers and the county, we were able to get it back up and running, Fort White Babe Ruth Baseball President Chris Sharpe said. We had about a 12-hour delay, which was discouraging to some teams, causing them to for-feit early, so were going to finish a day behind. Despite all the weather delays, Sharpe still feels that the tournament contin-ues to grow into a success. It was absolutely a big success, Sharpe said. We arent able to help mother nature as we are all at her mercy. Melrose will take on Sarasota at 9 a.m. today in the 15U bracket to begin the games, while Southside will take on Longwood. No other game times were announced, as delays forced games into the eve-ning. Fort White, Lake City wont see championship. JASON MATTHEW WALKER /Lake City ReporterColumbia Highs Trey Marshall shined this week at The Opening at Oregon. Opening up By BRANDON FINLEYbfinley@lakecityreporter.comThe Opening at Oregon is a football camp intended only for the nations elite high school football ath-letes. Columbia Highs Trey Marshall is making sure his name sticks after finishing fourth in the nation on the 40-yard dash with a time of 4.34 at the camp. What stands out to me is that he hasnt been training specifically for these events like some of the other kids, Columbia head coach Brian Allen said. Hes just training with our normal weight room work-outs. To me, that shows that we are doing some-thing right. Today, Marshall could make a legion of fans happy when he is expected to make his commitment to play college football. His choices are narrowed down to Florida State and Ole Miss according to ESPN. Ive heard that as well, but he didnt say anything to me about announcing, Allen said. Getting it out of the way is something thats good either way. It limits the distractions for the season. While Columbia is already on the national map, Marshall is bring-ing more attention to the Tigers, and that can only be a good thing for the program. CHS has been on the map with elite players in the past, Allen said. Usually, if you have one or two players go pro, youre doing pretty good. Weve had seven or eight. What it does is show that we are back natinal-ly. Its a credit to the kids (Marshall is) working with and the coaching staff. Marshall shining at Nike football camp in Oregon.

RACHEL COHENAssociated PressSOUTHAMPTON, N.Y.  Inbee Park hoped to win a Grand Slam. A career Grand Slam, that is. The single-season variety was just too outlandish. Yet shell head to St. Andrews next month for the Womens British Open with a chance to become the first player to go 4 for 4 in majors  whatever that may be called, now that there are five majors in a year. Whether I do it or not, Im just a very lucky per-son, Park said Sunday after winning the U.S. Womens Open for the second time. Parks four-shot victory at windy Sebonack would seem to bode well for Scotland, though the worlds top-ranked player has won in pretty much every situation this season on the way to six titles, including all three majors and three straight tourna-ments overall. Park talked Sunday about how calm she felt, and Annika Sorenstam could only marvel. Sorenstam was the last player to try to win the years first three majors, in 2005, and she didnt come close at the U.S. Womens Open. I was NOT calm, she said with a laugh. I know the pressure you can feel, the expecta-tions, Sorenstam added. Shes handled it beauti-fully. Nothing seems to faze her. Brad Beecher, Parks longtime caddie, said hes never seen her angry or emotional on the course. I think its because I feel the happiest when Im at the golf course, Park said. I feel calm when Im on the golf course. I think Im just a much better per-son when Im on the golf course. Yeah, outside the golf course, I feel the pres-sure and I feel what every-body else is feeling. But on the golf course, its just the golf ball and clubs. And when I have that, it just puts a lot of pressure off of me. Shell head home to South Korea for a rare visit before the British. Park knows she wont get much time to her-self there, but she wants to share her success with the fans who wake up in the middle of the night to watch her play. St. Andrews, the birthplace of golf, seems only appropriate as the spot for where Park could make his-tory, Sorenstam said. Park will just have to keep not thinking about that on the course. If I knew what I was doing, Park said, I think I wouldnt be able to stand. Beecher said shell glance at leaderboards but excels at not worrying about what other players are doing. The rest of the field, though, will have a hard time not notic-ing if Park quickly pulls in front again. You dont even know if she has a pulse out there half the time, said Paula Creamer, who tied for fourth at Sebonack. Doesnt mat-ter if its a good shot or a bad shot, I think Ive seen her actually smile maybe 10 times. The only player to win the years first three majors had been Babe Zaharias in 1950  and there were only three then. After Annika retired I didnt think anybody would ever do it, said Angela Stanford, another of the players who tied for fourth, nine strokes behind Park. After the Womens British Open on Aug. 1-4, The Evian Championship is Sept. 12-15 for the years fifth and final major. If Park can win at St. Andrews, everyone will need to decide whether a new term is required for winning all the majors. Team captain Johnny Chambliss was once again a winner in the Monday Night Scramble. His team, comprised of Carl Taylor and Robert Brown, found the winners circle on June 24 by carding a score of 3 under par in the nine-hole event. In the closest to the pin contest, Sally Rivers was the winner with a great shot of 6 12 feet on No. 8. Rivers won a free cart for her next scramble. The pot carried over for the third time with hole No. 1 being drawn. On Thursday, the scramble was won by long-hitting Shack Roberson, Henry Macray and early morn-ing dew sweeper R.D. Santerfeit. Their 5 under par was good for a one-shot win over Jeff Scott, Buck Roberts and Ted Miller. Longtime member Ed Touchton, one of the lucki-est golfers around, took home the free cart for his shot to 16 feet on No. 2 for closest to the hole. Thursdays pot was once again a carryover, with No. 1 being drawn again. There were three chances, but it was meant to be a bigger pot this week. Starting this month, we are doing something new at the club. At the end of each month, there will be a player selected as Player of the Month. The person chosen will receive a $50 gift certificate, a private reserved parking spot with their name on it for a month, and become eligible for a drawing for a new set of clubs after the year is up. To win this award, you must be a member in some way at the club. The criteria will be evaluated on performances in the weekly scrambles, and the monthly tournaments. Also starting in July, the weekly scramble winners will receive a $20 gift cer-tificate each time they win the closest to the pin on the specified hole. In June, there was a lot of great golf played, and some of that golf was played by Player of the Month Ed Touchton. Touchton has been a member here for quite some time, and has been a great supporter of the club. Since getting a year older and moving up to the senior tees Touchton has really shown that golf can truly get better the older you get. Congratulations Ed, enjoy your gift certificate and parking spot. There will be another 3-person, 18 hole scramble on July 27. It will be a 9 a.m. shotgun start, with a breakfast at 7:45 a.m. Captains will select teams at 8:50 a.m. The cost is $50 for members and $60 for non-members. Call 792-1990 to sign up or for more information. Throughout the summer, golf is $1 per hole after noon Monday through Friday. The weekly Monday and Thursday nine-hole scram-bles begin at 5 p.m. Call the pro shop by 4:30 p.m. on those days to sign up. The Mike Moses/ Donnie Thomas duo teamed for a net 63 and a one-stroke win in the A-B flight of the MGA two-man tournament. Steve Thomas and Mickey Wilcox claimed second place over Alan Moody and Greg Lyons on a scorecard regression. In the C-D flight, Dave Mehl and Mike Carr had a bit of breathing room with a net 60. Bruce Ford and Eli Witt finished second with a net 62, two better than Jim Carr and Ray Burnsed in third place. Terry Hunter had the low individual gross score with a 77. Pete Skantos posted the low net score of 68. Scores were anemic in the Wednesday scramble. The A flight ended in a first-place tie between Jordan Hale and Barney Hart, both at +5. Pete Skantos was in third with +3. Keith Shaw got the win in B flight with +3, one point better than Don Howard, Shelton Keen and Ed Higgs in second place. The skins game yielded a nice payoff with Mike Jacobs and Skantos split-ting the proceeds. Both pot holes carried over. A scorecard decision gave the Thursday PM Scramble to the trio of Carl Ste-Marie, Kyle Hunter and Brian Shead over the three-some of Cory DePratter, Steve Patterson and Norbie Ronsonet. The pot hole carried over to an impressive size. Four points separated the top eight finishers in Sundays blitz. Robbie Kerby topped the crowd with +8. Bob Wheary (+7) and Don Howard (+6) provided the most compe-tition. Terry Hunter and Chris Land tied for fourth with +5, followed by Steve Thomas, Timmy Rogers and Mike Jacobs in the final money spots. Closest to the pin winners were Tom Wade on No. 5, Jason Self on No. 7, Land on No. 15 and Thomas on No. 17. Hunter led the skins game with two winners. A.J. Lavin, Wade, Wheary and Kerby each had one. Jan Davis found the winners circle in the LGA low net 9 tournament. Her 31.5 was a stroke better than second-place Sally Rivers. Gloria Rowley squeezed out a third-place finish with 33, a half-stroke ahead of Carol Felton and Caroline Stevens. For the second week in a row, a Good Old Boys group pitched a shutout. This time it was the team of Monty Montgomery, Jim Bell, Bobby Simmons and Bill Rogers who skunked the threesome of Eli Witt, Nick Whitehurst and Steve Peters by an 8-0 count. In match two, the team of Ed Snow, Stan Woolbert, Joe Persons and Howard Whitaker took a 7-5 win over the foursome of Marc Risk, Paul Davis, Dave Cannon and Dan Stephens. Davis eagled No. 11 for the losing team. Match three provided some suspense as the team of Tom Elmore, Hugh Sherrill, Jim McGriff and Mike Spencer edged the team of Rhea Hart, Rob Brown, Bill Wheeler and Carl Wilson, 3-2. Montgomery took individual scoring honors with a 36-37-73. Snow was in second with a 39-36-75, a stroke better than Woolberts 40-36-76.

DEAR ABBY: My brother-in-law, Dave, has twice kissed me passion-ately when my sister was not around. I made light of it and pushed him away. The third time it happened was when he came to my house to do a little repair job for me. That time he also grabbed my breast. I exploded and told him off. Later on, Dave called and said he was going to come back to do some other things that needed attention. I told him he was not welcome in my house and that Im furious he would do such a thing. He apologized and said he hoped I could forgive him. I am so angry! I no longer want to be in his com-pany. I also dont like that I have to keep his behavior a secret from my sister. Please help. -FUMING IN FLORIDA DEAR FUMING: Your mistake was in not setting your amorous brother-in-law straight the first time he made a pass at you. Now that you have made plain to him that youre not interested, you will prob-ably have nothing more to worry about. But dont have him over unless your sister is with him. After you cool off, the question then will be whether to tell Sis that her husband behaves inappropriately and how you know. ** ** **DEAR ABBY: I recently moved back to my home state and in with my grand-mother to get away from my abusive husband. I have also filed for divorce. I love my grandmother dearly, but when it comes to the divorce or the therapy I go to weekly, she is not understanding and constantly brings up what he did to me. I believe shes frustrated because Im in therapy and she doesnt see a reason for it. How can I make her understand that Im trying to heal wounds that arent visible from the outside? -TRYING TO HEAL ON THE INSIDE DEAR TRYING TO HEAL: Your grandmother may come from a genera-tion in which therapy was something to be ashamed of. A way to help her understand the importance of what you are doing would be to invite her to a session with your therapist, let her air her con-cerns, and let the therapist explain to her why it is important that you work this through. This must be very uncomfortable for you, and you have my sympathy. ** ** **DEAR ABBY: Im a teenage girl living with my mom, who is a single par-ent, and my younger sister. We have struggled finan-cially, but we mostly live a relatively comfortable life, and Mom owns her own home. However, she constantly says things to me and my sister like, Were so poor, or, Were going to live under a bridge, even in public! We have asked her to stop several times, but she doesnt care that we are upset and embar-rassed. How can I get her to stop? -EMBARRASSED IN THE SOUTH DEAR EMBARRASSED: You should approach your mother privately and ask why she is saying it. She may be joking, but her concerns could also be a holdover from when her financial situation was less secure. Please do it. Her response might be educa-tional. DILBERT BABY BLUES HOROSCOPES DEAR ABBY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Dont rely on someone else. Take care of what-ever is expected of you quickly so that you can get on to more pleasurable pastimes. Staying active will make you feel good about your future. Good fortune, love and romance are doable. +++ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take care of any personal matters before someone complains or questions what you are doing. Dont let love stand between you and your suc-cess. Look at anyone inter-fering in your progress as a liability. Voice your creative ideas. +++ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Use your imagination when it comes to your pro-fessional goals. The more diverse you are, the better. You want to show others what you are capable of doing. Precision and clar-ity along with honesty and integrity will guide you in the right direction. +++ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Check out the pos-sibilities and do whatever you can to help a cause or someone you respect. Develop a plan that will open up new opportuni-ties for you to use your skills. Dont fight change. You will benefit from what unfolds. ++++ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Dont let responsibilities stop you from taking part in something enjoyable. Dont cave under pres-sure. Make your intentions clear. Love is in the stars, and a change of location or routine will enhance a connection that brings you pleasure. ++ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Travel for business or pleasure. Meeting new peo-ple or visiting old friends or colleagues will lead to an interesting proposal. Share information, and it will lead to greater opportunities. Express your thoughts with emotion and sincerity and you will get good results. +++++ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Youll face complaints if you dont live up to a promise you made. Problems at home con-cerning where or how you live will develop if you havent handled money matters wisely. A change will be necessary if you want to stabilize your situa-tion. +++ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Go where the action is. Travel and sharing ideas will lead to opportunities. Dont let an emotional rela-tionship ruin your chance to get ahead. Speak up and take care of a problem that surfaces before it spins out of control. +++ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Easy come, easy go. Love is on the rise, and making an impulsive move to impress someone will have the opposite effect. Use your creative imagina-tion and you will come up with interesting, cost-effi-cient ways to grab positive attention. +++ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Put greater emphasis on home, family and your relationships with others. Both personal and professional opportunities will be directly linked to the way you treat others. Pay close attention to the way others interpret what you are offering. +++++ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Emotions will be difficult to control. Listen carefully to what others ask of you and determine whether you should accommodate or back away. Make deci-sions based on how it will influence your future, both personally and profession-ally. ++ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Dont get angry, get moving. Deal with any problem that arises with compassion, honesty and integrity. You can benefit if you think matters through and offer alternatives to those looking for answers or help. Personal improve-ments will fetch compli-ments. ++++ CELEBRITY CIPHER Abigail Van Burenwww.dearabby.com BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY B.C.

By EDDIE PELLS Associated Press LONDON If Sabine Lisicki had a letdown after defeating Serena Williams, it didnt show. If Lisicki is penciling herself into the Wimbledon final, she isnt saying. Showing no drop-off after her dramatic victory over Williams, the 23rd-seeded Lisicki returned Tuesday and made quick work of a much less intimidating opponent, 46th-ranked Kaia Kanepi, dispatching her 6-3, 6-3 in 65 minutes to advance to her second career Wimbledon semifinal. I was ready today, Lisicki said. I knew from the past, out of experience, that I needed to make the switch quickly to be ready, and thats what I did. Indeed. Lisicki opened the match by breaking Kanepis serve in the first game and didnt look back in that set. In the sec ond, she had one hiccup a game in which she double-faulted three times to drop a break and fall behind 2-1. She broke back right away, however, and won four of the next five games to close out the match. Now, the 23-year-old German finds her self in the Wimbledon semifinals for the second time in three years. Her win against Williams made her the new, odds-on favor ite to win the title and even pushed Britains favorite tennis player, Andy Murray, off the back pages of a couple London tabloids. All of which means almost nothing at least to hear Lisicki tell it. Match by match, she said. Did that from the start and will continue to do that. Her next opponent is No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska, who defeated No. 6 Li Na 7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-2 in a match that took more than 3 hours to complete and included two rain delays, an injury timeout and a final game that lasted more than 10 minutes. The other semifinal will pit No. 15 Marion Bartoli of France against No. 20 Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium. Flipkens beat eighth-seeded Petra Kvitova 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 to knock the last remaining Grand Slam tournament win ner out of the draw. Flipkens won her first career Grand Slam quarterfinal, continuing quite a comeback from health problems that dropped her to No. 262 last year. The people believing in me, I can count on one hand, said Flipkens, who was sidelined with blood clots in her legs. Its amazing. Bartoli eliminated the last remaining American singles player, beating Sloane Stephens 6-4, 7-5 in a match that included a 2-hour rain delay. This is her deepest trip at a Grand Slam since the 2011 French Open and her deepest trip at Wimbledon since 2007, when she lost to Venus Williams in what remains her only Grand Slam final. Radwanska moved one win from her second straight Wimbledon final, put ting Li away on the eighth match point. Radwanska called for a medical timeout after the second set so a trainer could work on her right thigh. Up 5-2 in the third set, she called for the trainer again for a quick treatment on both legs. If its the end of a Grand Slam you dont really think about the pain or anything else, Radwanska said. You just fight until the end. Thats what I was doing today. 8BSPORTS JUMP Fireworks Start 9:20 p.m. Presenters Entertainment Entertainment The Best Fireworks Display in North Florida Thursday, July 4, 2013 Anderson Columbia Advanced Disposal Baya Pharmacy CMS Columbia Bank Columbia County Tourist Development Council Comfort Inn First Federal Bank of Florida Hampton Inn Heritage Bank of the South Lake City Advertiser Lifeguard Ambulance Service Meridian Behavioral Healthcare New Millennium Ole Times Country Buet People's State Bank Potash Corporation Rountree Moore S&S Sav A Lot Texas Roadhouse TIMCO The Law Oce of Travis Koon, PLLC VyStar Wal Mart Co-Sponsors Columbia County Fairgrounds Sponsored by Stop N Go Board of County Commissioners City of Lake City Sponsored by Hosted by Title Sponsor Lake City Reporter Expanded kids area to includes: 6 bounce houses, 4 water slides, and a slip n slide unit!
